i Application filed-April 30, 1914. Serial No. 835,502.

To all whomz'tmay concern: y y Be it known that I, BONNIE PHELrs, a

citizen of the United States, residing at` Oklahoma city, inthe county of Oklahoma and State of Oklahoma, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Oombination Plows and Drills; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had t0 the accompanying drawings, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of` this specification.

This invention relates to new and'useful improvements in combination plows and drills, the object being to produce a drill which is attached to the plowbeam in which the plow may be adapted to be tilted without interfering with the drill which remains upon a level plane.

The invention comprises various details of construction, combinations and arrangements of parts which willl be hereinafter fully described, shown inthe accompanying horizontal position, and Fig. 3 is a similar.

view showing the connection between the drill and the beam of the plo-w.

Reference now being had tothe details of the drawings by letter, A designates a plow beam, B the plow secured to the beam and y C are the handles. A bar D is fastened to the plow beam and has an aperture F near its lower end. i v

E designates a seed hopper having cups in the bottom thereof which lead to the spouts F, said hopper being mounted upon the frame G at one end of which is a spindle aXle K upon which the wheel L is mounted. A rod, designated by letter N, is fastened to the under surface of said frame and is bent at right angles at two points, designated'by letters O and O, and its free end is bent to form a hook P adapted to have a pivotal connection with the aperture in the bar D. Fastened to said frame upon which the hopper is mounted is a bar T and its forward end is apertured as at T for the reception of the pin W which is fastened near the forward end of the beam.

In operation, it will be noted that, when is is desired to turn the plow beam for any purpose, it may be done without interfering with the seed hopper, the latter being held in a horizontal position, even though the plow and beam turn either to the right or left, or raised or lowered, the brace and the pivotal `connection between the frame and beam permitting of such movement.

What I claim to be new is:

y Inrcombination with a plow beam, avseed hopper, a "frame upon which the` same is mounted, a shaft fastened to the frame, one end ofwhich forms a spindle, a wheel jour- Patented Oct. 13, 1914.

naled upon the spindle, the other end of the shaft bent at right angles at two locations and having a -portion which extends beyond the end of the frame and which terminates in a hook, a rod fastened to the beam and `having an aperture in its end engaged by said hook, a bar'fastened at oneend to the frame and in diagonal relation to the said hopper, its other end bent at an angleand apertured, a headed pin upon said beam and with which the angled end of the bar has a y loose `pivotal connection.

In testimony whereof I hereunto aiiiX my vsignature in presence of two witnesses.
